ON THE WEB: Neely's genius gains a bigger forum

Babycakes at work
We first encountered Brad Neely shortly after his George Washington video made its debut, and soon stumbled upon Wizard People, Dear Reader, a new script and voice over Neely wrote and spoke for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. But did that sate our thirst for his strange MS Paint illustrations and growling, drunk-sounding Howard Cosell-like drawl? No. Even his depraved comics just weren't enough. On that note, we're pleased that Neely is one of the heavy hitters being showcased at Super Deluxe, a new venture into the internet video sphere bankrolled by Turner. Neely's newest are an interpretation of the biblical tale of Lot as well as an introduction to Babycakes, a cross between Sloth from The Goonies and Samuel Pepys.
